It seems there have been a number of threads and requests over the years re: uploading binary files into a project rather than into assets. I’m curious if there is any official information to be had about this.
Meanwhile I am considering creating an “images” repo on GitHub and pulling them in from there but I wanted to check on one thing before I accidentally overwrite something. I’d use a dummy project but still… Do you know if I import from GitHub using the tool available if there is a way to not blow away the currently installed project? I.E. to just pull what folders/files it sees in the repo?
Thanks I was hoping I could do this from the command line and control it myself. One more question if you know… from the command line I can specify a completely separate repo correct? In other words the “real” one is my project but this one would simply have a folder with some graphics or audio files.
I would want that project to override only those specific folders obviously not the main app.
I haven’t tried doing merges from branches that are totally separate in that way. But it might be possible to pull into a local Git repo that’s in a subdirectory. Let us know if you try and find out.
There is something called a subtree and various demos about merging another repo but these don’t appear to be what I’m looking for. The very good news is I found a solution that anyone who knows Linux already knew.
curl and wget are available and using curl I pulled an image off the internet and into my project. I really only wanted to be able to pull arbitrary binary files into folders in my project without them going into assets. Now at least I can. Thanks.
